Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

Easy to order. And the product was delivered as described. I like the compact flash.
Super easy! Loved the choices of vendors! I love that I can find an out of print or unavailable book and give it some more love!
The information about each book was clearly written and the suggestions for other books were very good.
It was very easy too order had what I was looking for got a very good product I was very happy Thank You
Everything went well ordering and receiving my order. I only regret the cost of postage.
Had a little trouble finding the page to delete the second book I added by mistake. Lot of trouble creating a new password.
I wish that there was a way to lower the shipping costs. I paid more for shipping than I paid for the books.
Check out was fine but notice that cart didn't keep items I ordered earlier and I have to figure out what they were
Good selection and prices. Consolidated shipping from same seller should be cheaper!
First time user of your website. It is really user friendly with a number of options and availability of product. Nice and will visit again.
As always, good. Easy to find books, accurate descriptions of the contents, and so much lower in price than new books.
Efficient easy-to-use web-site. I have used this site many times over decades.
The first book of this name, stated as new, was rubbish since it was a reprint and the photos in the book were not reproduced in a viewable form. So I looked for an original book published in 1952. The latter cost less that the first book. The vendors of the newly printed book so point out that any photos are not reproduced
I found it a little time consuming trying to find books I was interested in
Was able to track order, books came quickly a d were in good condition
You had the book, at the right price, in we're assuming very good condition. Who could ask for anything more.
Very efficient and clear, easy to use website. Would use it again.
I am glad to obtaine these items at used prices, too bad shipping has to cost so much

So frustrating. Spent a long time on my cart just to have it deleted. Then your free shipping only turned out to apply to the truck icon books not my whole order.
First time purchasing from this site. I'm hoping it will be a greater experience. Please with the process looking forward to future selections.
You had a book at a price that was difficult/impossible to find from other vendors.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.
Answer: Hi Dennis, That depends on where the seller is located and where your deliver address is as well. Generally, shipments within the States are delivered within a week or so, though holiday shipping might slow down a bit. If you send us the details with your order number in an email to [email protected] we can look into the specifics for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: Hi Valerie, If you have had a problem with your Visa or PayPal transactions on our site, please let us know the details at [email protected] so that we can investigate for you. Thank you for your question. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: HI Zoila, Delivery timeframes within the States are usually between 3 and 8 days, but it depends on where the seller is that is shipping the item to you. If you have already placed an order, please contact us at [email protected] with your order details and we can investigate for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: Really Michael, contact you directly? Why should we have to. There is a bad trend here. Seems MANY of us contact you and you DONT respond
Answer: I saw the fake stellar reviews and did not dig deeper. I til... I had an issue. Initially, I wanted to give a small seller some business after COVID and the site looked really good. What a big mistake that was! Shame on this outfit.
